Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

And a bright morning.

"... hey ~? Would a place with a world tree have been such a desolate place ~?

The Waltz had left the brave men in South Fortress (tentatively) to use their energy and move to their planned location. To be more specific, a few days ago, the hunter's ancestors (?) is that place where Alexandra was lowered, which is

But to Cortex, that didn't seem to convince me. Well, I'd say it's not impossible either. Initially we were supposed to go to the world tree in the north of the continent, because when we realized it was somehow returning to the Kingdom of Endelusia (the planned site) on the south side of the continent......

As a result, Cortex raised his dissatisfaction when he noticed the reddish earth spreading across the Tallap... In response, Alexandra and I were deeply connected hunters.

"I'm sorry, Cortex. I want you to hang out a little bit. It's about making South Fortress."

"Were you ~. Then you have no choice ~"

and Cortex convinced in two replies, unlike last minute appearances.

The hunter, who looked sorry for her like that, wore a less exposed white coat, as if it were worn by travellers walking around the wilderness and desert.... No, in fact, she's going to go wilderness herself. Perhaps he also felt sorry for leaving his ancestors to the waltzes.

But Cortex seemed to see her outfit and interpret it differently again.

"How it goes ~... is it a sandworm hunt ~?

"... ah! You had that hand! I totally forgot!

That's what I say, a hunter who starts checking inside his own toolbag. Apparently, as she searched for Alexandra, she came up with the idea of going hunting for Sandworm.

Waiting to see how it was, the waltz behind her opened her mouth in a frightening mood.

"Um... Mr. Hunter? It's very hard to say...... it takes a while to get around, so you're not walking away, are you? Fly away. So maybe I won't run into Sandworm..."

"What...?!

"Uh, look... I'm leaving you with South Fortress about the braves... in a bit of a hurry"

Listen to Waltz's unboiled words that ——

"Well, you did... Ok...... I'll give up this time..." Shin.

—— and a hunter who nods like he's obviously not giving up. At that time, her hands were shaking small, either because she developed something like withdrawal or because she was shaking with grief......

Waltz spoke to Cortex, watching how such a hunter was doing.

"... so, Cortex? I'm just gonna go look for Alexandra."

"Really? Really?"

Cortex smiling nicely, saying.

Her response, as far as the others could tell, did not see anything particularly strange. For Waltz, however, it seemed to be felt by a slightly puzzling reaction. It was too honest a reaction.

"... that's all? You got nothing else to say?

"Yes ~? That's all ~? Is there anything else you want me to say ~?

"No... I was wondering if you wouldn't say you wanted to go too..."

"Do you want me to go with you ~? I don't like it ~?

"What... you don't like it?

"That's right. There's a goddess in this part of the world, right? I don't have manoeuvre armor like your sister, so if the goddess is the same" Guardian "as your sister, the moment we meet face to face, I'm unilaterally hit ~.... Oh, I think the hunter is okay ~? The only thing that the goddess is after is a Guardian like your sister, as far as listening to your sister is concerned, because I don't think she's going to be so aggressive in being a human opponent like her hunter ~. But I'm half human and half Guardian. I have no expectation that something will happen when I meet him or her."

"I see..."

and waltz how Cortex understood why he didn't want to go.

Then she receives her sister's words on par...... To find Alexandra with the hunter, we went down Tallap and left.

Then that's when.

"Oh, I was ~. Sister ~?... rather than hunter ~?

Cortex stopped the hunter.

"Hmm? What?

"Just in case, I'm going to give you an amulet. Yes, go ahead ~?

When Cortex said so, he took something out of his pocket. And she places the object gently over the hunter's hand.

"Is this... a small slime? No, little macrophages."

"Yeah, that's right. It's not the first generation of macrophages, it's the second generation of enhanced macrophages. Keep the feature, I tried to reduce the size ~. By the way, the name is" Second Generation Enhanced Macrophage Type 2, "but since the name is long as it is, please call him" Macrophage Chan # 2 ""

".................." Plum

"Right...... Then don't hesitate to let me borrow it. But I still have a long name... so why not Phage Two?

………… ♪ Biku!

"... sounds like you can't ~"

"Oh no... no..."

A hunter who sees the macrophage reaction he was putting on his hands and drops his shoulders just a little. And then she would say, "Macrophage-chan # 2" about that little macrophage every time something happened.

"Make something weird..."

"Well, well, even your sister, isn't she making something similar ~? It's a special micromachine for Ene and Potato, or it's a nanomachine I'm letting Catalina have ~...... Other than that, they seem to make something out of the shadows. The suspicious scent comes with a pump ~?

"... well. So, shall we leave? Mr. Hunter."

Was there also something hard to answer, Waltz, who starts walking straight without responding to his sister's words? Then the hunter also continued......

Waltz and the hunter traveled to the wilderness in search of Alexandra.
